Committed to Fair Apportionment.

The Guthrie Veaette, published
at Panora, Guthrie county, is a
newspaper that is actuated by a
spirit of fairness, and while hearty
exponent of the rights Of Guthrie
county, it sees in the present contest
for the nomination for the state sem
atorship grasping disposition that
is not at all creditable, even to poll
ticians, who are generally credited
with an innate desire for the earth.
The Tedettc views the field con-
servatively and finds that Guthrie
county, having held the Office for
eight years, has no claims whatever
10 press upon the convention, and il
further believes that Audubon county
is entitled to consideration, which
disposition should find hearty enter
tainment throughout the district.
We believe that Guthrie county
republicans will generally be in
readiness to support an Audubon
county man in the convention, for
certain it is that she is under obliga.
tons that must be regarded. 1t is
desirable that harmonious relations
between the two counties continue
as heretofore, that the benefits OF
cooperation may be available at all
times, and to assure this nothing
could be more efficacious than her
assistance in this instance.

Some Questions to Answer.
detroit Tribune


What is the matter with President
Clevelands We ask this question
in all seriousness.
What have the Union soldiers
done to merit his insults and hatred :
Why was it necessary for him
when he vetoed a pension bill to
make his veto message vehicle OF
sarcasm and foul insinuations.
Why has he found pleasure in
pouring vitriol upon the wounds Of
the old veterans and heaping ridicule
upon deserving soldiers and soldiers
wives?
Why have all his honied words
been bestowed upon such men as
John G. Calhoun, Albert Sidney
Johnson and other Southern fire.
eaters and rebels?
Why has he never a good word
to say to or for the G. A. R.l
Why has he never shown any re-
spect whatever for the nations dead
on even memorial day?
Why does he refuse to take part
in or attend memorial services, when
his only excuse is fish pole and a
box Of bait?
Why did he ignore this sacred
day and then come out of the woods
and direct that the rebel flags should
be returned to those who lost them
while struggling to break up the
Union?
These are some OF the questions
the patriotic people Of the country
are now asking. Who can answer
them?
Does President Cleveland think
that the support of the solid South
is all he needs in the coming presi-
dental campaign:
Does he think he can carry any
Northern state on his record of in
suits to the North and toadyism to
the Souths
Was he afraid that he might lose
Virginia and one or two other South.
ern states if he didn't take back thei,
battle flagss
Is there northern state that will
so disgrace itself as to give this hater
of Union soldiers-this eulogist Of
the breeders and defenders of rebel
lion, its electoral vote in 1888?
Not one!

SEVERAL newspapers through the
state have made concerted assault
upon the supreme court, especially
directing their complaints against
Judge Adams, the member whose
term expires this year. These at
tacks are generally made through
the mistaken idea that they can thus
advance the interests Of their pet
candidates, and through the further
erroneous though gratifying idea that
their own ability is in a measure
gagged by the eminence Of the OBJ
ject of assault. The final result
promises to vindicate the general
belief that such policy reacts upon
the attacking factions, and ultimately
adds to the strength of the assaulted
candidate. When the honor and
integrity of our highest court, in
which the great mass of the people
has unbounded confidence, and for
which all have patriotic reverence,
is Unfortunately assailed for selfish
purpose, it is becoming in the COM
monwealth to resent it vigorouslyand
earnestly. Judge Adams has held
the Office through many years
through which he has won and
maintained with increasing fervei
the respect of his constituents, and
not until it has answered the purpose
OF those scheming for his seat, has
his public character ever beer
brought in question. OF the entire
bench of Iowa Adams is one o
those who possess the greatest abil
ity and best judgment, to which ha
been added the undisputed advant
age of experience. If the people TO,
the nonce doubt their own ability tc
decide intellgently in this matter |
would be we'll to regard the opin
ions of attorneys through the stat
who have practiced in the higl
court, and have intimate knowledge
of Adams official conduct. Ger
tainly there could be no mistake il
taking counsel of the attorneys, thar
whom there does not exist NOR
honorable, DISTRIBUTING body o
men in the land. We believe w
make no mistake in stating that thu
attorneys are in favor of the re-nom
inatiop Of Justice Adams, and 1t il
safe to say that, In the probable
event of his denomination by thu
republican party, greater numbeI
Of the lawyers in Iowa will be found
advocating his election than coulc
possibly be marshaled in the supper
| Of any other man.

State Superintendency

Superintendent John w. Akers
has withdrawn from the contest for
a denomination to the office he has
so acceptably occupied for three sue
cessive terms. While his candidacy
has been quite generally favored on
the ground that he has served the
people we'll and that it was desirable
to divorce that office from the field
of politics, there can be no doubt
that the withdrawal is dictated by
good judgment and wisdom, since
recent phases of the case promised
to involve the party candidates in a
contest disagreeable, disgraceful and
demoralizing, such as would weaken
the party in the state. Mr.. Akers'
action is commendable, magnani-
nous and patriotic, for with the
wide endorsements he has received
and the prestige of incumbency, the
probable results of a contest would
have been in his favor. So that in
retiring from public Office Mr.. Akers
has vastly more friends in his party
than when he entered upon official
life.
The field is we'll occupied by
aspirants for the nomination, men
who have held eminent positions in
educational work, and who have
ripe experience in addition to educa-
tional qualifications. Prots. Eldridge,
of Louisa, Grumbling, Of Henry,
Fellows, late of the University,
Wernli, Of lie Mars, and Quincy,
of Page, all aspire to the honor and
are men who will bring demon
strated ability. to the service of the
people.
Prof. Sabin, of Clinton, whose
name has but recently been men-
toned in this connection, is receiving
many warm endorsements and will
doubtless come into the convention
with large support from eastern
Iowa.
Since the above was placed in
type the candidacy of Prof. Il. II.
Frost, OF Cass, has come to our
knowledge and TIE REPUBLICAN
gladly adds its endorsement to the
hearty support that is marshaled
by the simple announcement. Else
where in this issue may be found
resolutions passed by the normal
now in session in this city. Coming
as they do from a body of educators
familiar with the gentleman, they
cannot fail to have great influence
in enhancing the interests of the
candidate.
Prof. Frestls ripe in years and
experience in the work of education.
For the past eight years he has
held the office OF county superin-
tendent in Cass, and only retires
upon the withdrawal Of his name
from the field. He has placed the
schools of that county far head Of any
in western Iowa, which he has only
been able to do by keeping abreast
of the ever advancing tide of educa-
tional methods. While he would
bring to the office high education,
his best efforts would be among the
common people and the common
school, for being a man Of broad and
sensible views, he realizes that there
in lie the needs Of present en-
deavor, and the hope of future gen.
eral intelligence. No man in Iowa
has greater knowledge OF the detail
of school work, and none could
serve the people Of the state with
more signal ability.
